Elgato Video Capture

hi,

imported 8 vhs movies yesterday elgato video capture device using composite cables. process incredibly simple, wasn't thrilled resultant quality of of files. so, today, i'm using s-video cable , i'm getting weird blur @ top of movie importing. common problem when using s-video? specific cable i've got? more problem tape, itself? i'd appreciate feedback.

 

you digitizing vhs tape. major quality variables source tape , tape deck in order. lesser extent, transcode settings of software have effect. however, cables transmit signals tape deck monitor or computer. despite may infer enormous price pay monster cables, effect of different cables on quality of final product small. man vhs tape deck s-vhs.

tape tracking may have effect on presence of artifacts seen during playback. vhs tape decks supposed adjust tracking automatically. however, can adjust tracking if not quite right. make sure tapes playing optimally.

if have s-vhs cable, should use it. s-vhs ports, not s-vhs cables, should transmit marginally higher resolution video. said, quality of digital copy of content recorded on vhs analog tape expected quite poor compared content electronically recorded directly digital media.
